Sejahtera consumerism in post pandemic covid-19 era
No full textSejahtera consumerism in post covid-19 requires awareness, education, and reinforcement. Every consumer should be naturally sejahtera consumers and always practice responsible and sustainable consumerism. The lack of awareness about consumerism has been accelerating with industrial oriented education. Indeed, the reality of life encourages material possession. Ethical values have been forgotten in a trade-off of advancement in materialistic achievement. The old era of consumerism has been very challenging with social and economic instability. The covid-19 era posed more challenges due to new norms and restriction measures to curb covid-19. The community has no choice but to help among them through various social efforts and finance. In the meantime, the old norms of corruption and struggle for power have been dominated regardless of covid-19 situation. Every part of the society needs to participate actively in the consumerism movement. The feedback from students manifests the need to provide education, training and practice of consumerism

Public Private Partnership and Financial Implication to Government: A Case Study from Malaysia
Get PDFThe implementation of infrastructure projects through the Public Private Partnership (PPP) that involve investments from the private sector has greatly benefited the country. Apart from being an alternative to conventional public infrastructure projects, PPP is also said to be a more efficient method as the risk of project implementation is transferred to the private partner. Even with these advantages, it cannot escape criticism, especially the implementation of PPP projects which involve financial implications to the government. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the Malaysian government's experience in the implementation of PPP projects especially regarding its financial implication issue and how the Malaysian government addresses the issue. A total of 29 officers from several government agencies were interviewed. The interview transcripts were analyzed using ATLAS. Ti application. Apart from contributing a theory regarding PPP, the results of this study have provided new knowledge on PPP, especially Malaysia's experience in dealing with financial commitment issues arising from the implementation of PPP projects. Although the context of development in other countries may differ, this Malaysian experience can be used as an example for PPP practitioners in planning PPP projects elsewhere

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Get PDFTowards developing Islamic crowdfunding model to harness the potential of students’ entrepreneurial activities in Malaysia
Get PDFThe global financial and pandemic crises have worsened the employment challenges faced by university graduates. In order to address this pressing issue, governments are encouraged to utilize “employment pressures” as a mechanism to promote entrepreneurship. By integrating graduate employment with entrepreneurial activities, entrepreneurship can serve as a strategic avenue to generate employment opportunities. Entrepreneurship is a systematic attempt that offers possibilities for creating new ventures and achieving success, with the potential for a multiplier effect that addresses graduate unemployment challenges. In the Malaysian context, while entrepreneurial opportunities are abundant, the lack of entrepreneurial capacity and resilience limits progress. Although university graduates possess advantages such as innovative potential, they face significant barriers, including inadequate access to funding. Islamic crowdfunding emerges as a viable solution to these challenges, offering a model embedded in ethical and societal values. Its focus on generating positive societal impact and supporting graduate entrepreneurial initiatives. This paper seeks to (i) analyze the financing landscape for student entrepreneurship in Malaysia, (ii) propose an innovative financing approach using Islamic crowdfunding, and (iii) establish systematic principles for its implementation. The novelty of the study lies in setting a new research direction for Islamic crowdfunding and financing student’s entrepreneurial activities that can be instrumental in further enhancing and optimizing their potential

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
